On #EarthDay we post about loving our planet while VU Amsterdam cuts its Earth Sciences department. Dismissing 42 earth scientists reveals the gap between stated values and actual priorities. What we fund is what we truly value #RedAardwetenschappen (Image by @thelittlebluedood.bsky.social)

The image shows a simple blue line drawing on a white textured background. There's a figure of a person pointing at a rectangular sign or board that contains text. The text on the board reads: "DO UNTO THE EARTH AS YOU WANT DONE UNTO THE EARTH" - a environmental take on the golden rule. The drawing has a handmade, sketch-like quality with the person and message rendered in blue ink.
